A wonderful document - especially the examples given of the cost of bells and WW1. I was also interested to see the comparison of the wages of physicians. While dentists are very well paid today, until WW2 my maternal grandfather dentist had two full-time, live-in maids, ran new Chrysler cars, had fishing rights on a river and a country cottage - and managed to employ three of his sons as well. Different times - and largely based on fitting false teeth. And no, I didn't inherit a penny!
I bet those long-life diesel are then shipped out to Africa - or wherever - at a good profit.

I'll stick to my old stuff.
